MODERATORS
they were the ones to skimp (heavily) on safety.
for once this penny pinching lead to their suffering instead of ours.
i hope they don't get a penny.
Im pretty sure the family of the guy that was hired to pilot the thing didn't design and build a death tube of brittle carbon fiber
He's alive, he was fired before the accident because he had safety concerns and his boss took over as the pilot.

Rather poetic, really.
well idk what the French submersible pilot was doing onboard then but i'm still pretty sure it wasn't him or his family designing and cutting corners on the thing
